3rd Party Apps
If the downgrade process removes the feature used by the 3rd party app (such as Time Tracking), you will still be able to use it directly from the 3rd party’s website. If the feature is lost, the 3rd party app will not be able to sync into QuickBooks Online. This will require manual data entry to update QuickBooks Online.
- After removing all stoppers, you will be able to continue through the Change my plan confirmation page. This will include a summary of your new plan billing details and a chance to update the payment method.
- After you view the new billing amount and existing credit card information, select Confirm to complete the process.
